This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.

Scotland's Snow Patrol formed in the mid-1990s, united by a love for both American and British alternative rock. Led by singer/guitarist Gary Lightbody, the band recorded two albums for the revered Jeepster label (home of Belle & Sebastian) before signing with A&M Records. FINAL STRAW, the group's major-label debut, finds Snow Patrol expanding its indie-rock guitar-based sound with greater focus on keyboards, strings, and fuller production values (courtesy of Garret Lee). Lightbody's charming vocals and lyrics provide the band's emotional center, as best evidenced on the wistful opener "How to Be Dead" and the slowly building "Run." Although Snow Patrol knows its way around quiet melancholy, the ensemble is also capable of rocking out ("Spitting Games," "Chocolate"), revealing an aesthetic that places the group squarely in the ranks of Coldplay, Travis, and other Britpop luminaries.

Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Dual Disc CD/DVD

Snow Patrol: Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar, keyboards, glockenspiel); Nathan Connolly (guitar, background vocals); Mark McClelland (keyboards, bass instrument); Jonny Quinn (drums).

Spin (p.100) - "[A]rena-ready songs about long good-byes with right-angled guitar fuzz."
Entertainment Weekly (4/2/04, p.66) - "[FINAL STRAW] proves the Irish quartet keeps getting better....The band has added pulsing strings and staticky textures to its luscious mix." - Rating: A
Magnet (p.108) - "[A] soaring, super-polished album replete with dreamy anthems, superior pop moments....All in all, pretty crafty. And pretty smart."

5 stars Saved by Snow Patrol!
I first heard the song "Run" on a compilation album and I have been hooked ever since. This band is so inventive and lyrical. If you don't have this album yet, do yourself a favor and go get it right now! Once you hit play, you'll never want it to stop, especially the songs "How To Be Dead" and "Chocolate."

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. When Matchbox Twenty's first album became a hit, some critics lumped the band in with flash-in-the-pan rock acts of the day. What these early naysayers missed, of course, is that in vocalist Rob Thomas, Matchbox Twenty had one of the finest mainstream pop/rock songwriters in the business. Not only did Thomas rack up a string of hits with the Florida group, but he also co-penned "Smooth" from Santana's Grammy-winning 1999 comeback album, SUPERNATURAL. With SOMETHING TO BE, his solo debut, Thomas pulls out all the stylistic stops, revealing that Matchbox Twenty's alternative-rock format provided a somewhat limited forum for his considerable talents. "Lonely No More" mixes an insistent dance beat with an insanely catchy chorus that sounds straight out of the boy-band textbook. The title track is a sly lyrical dig at poseurs of all stripes, backed by an 1980s electro-funk groove, while the burbling synths and Eastern percussion of "All That I Am" recall the world fusion experiments of Peter Gabriel and David Byrne. An ambitious effort by a guy who knows ...

Call Of The Gators
Willis Jackson Call Of The Gators CD  (1950)

Final Straw music CDs
CD $9.89  Audio Samples
Contains previously unreleased tracks and alternate takes recorded in 1950. This 14-track entry from Delmark's Apollo series provides a useful roundup of tenor saxophonist Willis Jackson's earliest recordings as a leader. The set of jump blues and stomping R&B instrumentals showcases the young leader's hard-honking, leering style. Still a teenager at the time, Jackson recorded the performances for the New York-based Apollo label in 1949 and 1950, shortly after he came to prominence as a member of trumpeter Cootie Williams' band. While he seems made to measure for the role of "blowin' motherf*cker," Jackson's ballad playing reveals a more sophisticated player with a smoky Ben Webster style. This side of Jackson -- which became more evident later in his career -- comes across most notably on the ballad "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and in the unhurried lope of "More Blues at Midnight." The players with Jackson are likeminded practitioners of good-time, bluesy backbeats, including pianist Bill Doggett and drummer Panama Francis. Two tracks feature Jackson with the Bobby Smith Orchestra and vocalist Eddie Mack, who reflects unrepentantly on the timeless themes of money, women, and drink. An unidentified guitarist (possibly Leroy Kirkland) on one of the Smith tracks contributes a brief swinging solo in the style of Tiny Grimes that proves to be one of the disc's high points. The medium-paced title track is another highlight. ~ Jim Todd This 14-track entry from Delmark's Apollo series provides a useful roundup of tenor saxophonist Willis Jackson's earliest recordings as a leader.

Drawing from real-life trauma and hardship caused by his self-destructive tendencies, Weiland's lyrics achieve clarity not previously reached. When he's not railing ...

The unique Mexican rock band Cafe Tacuba is not a household name in America, but on the evidence of the screams, cheers, and epic sing-alongs on the live double-disc UN VIAJE, the group holds superstar status in its native country, and rightly so. More fun than a carnival, Cafe Tacuba mixes traditional Mexican folk, ska, R&B, cabaret, punk, electronica, and everything in-between into a sonic blast as appealing as it is original. On paper, it doesn't seem as if this grab bag would hold up, but the band's experimental rock is amazingly cohesive and compelling. In addition to the group's superior and eclectic musicianship ...
